as BART train got crowded, giant dog-passenger, politely stood on two legs

Giant, very good dog rides BART on two feet like a man, goes viral

A BART commute is often full of surprises, some more pleasant than others.

One rider, 28-year-old Berkeley resident Sean Herron, has seen his share of weird stuff on the train. But on a Wednesday morning ride to work, he was treated to a special sight when a man boarded with an enormous Great Dane at 19th Street Station in Oakland.
The train was crowded. Space was tight.


But unlike the all-too-ubiquitous riders who turn a blind eye and refuse to take off their space-clogging backpacks on a packed train, the big pup did the considerate thing as the train started to fill up at the West Oakland stop: He stood on two legs like a furry, considerate, droopy-faced man, resting his front paws on his person.

San Francisco still has some outdated and odd laws on the books. Don't let that dog hang out the window! See what else is illegal in SF.

I was riding BART today when a man and his extremely large Great Dane stepped aboard the train. It was a bit busy, so he told the dog to stand up and the dog flat out STOOD ON TWO LEGS AND RODE THE TRAIN THROUGH THE TRANSBAY TUBE.


"The train was getting crowded as people were going through West Oakland and the dog was having trouble finding a place to sit," Herron recalled. "The owner said, 'Stand up' — he was standing against the door — and the dog was leaning his paws against him."
